This is our combined benchmark score.
Passmark
This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

Pros & cons summary
| Performance score | 7.10 | 7.49 |
| Recency | 28 January 2015 | 25 July 2011 |
| Maximum RAM amount | 4 GB | 6 GB |
| Chip lithography | 28 nm | 40 nm |
| Power consumption (TDP) | 45 Watt | 238 Watt |
Quadro K1200 has an age advantage of 3 years, a 43% more advanced lithography process, and 429% lower power consumption.
Tesla C2070, on the other hand, has a 5% higher aggregate performance score, and a 50% higher maximum VRAM amount.
Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Quadro K1200 and Tesla C2070.
